Why doesn't the US fill in the area in the Pacific to connect Alaska, Hawaii, and the mainland? Are they stupid?

If you want trump to do, here's what you'll need to do:
Make the bottom border go straight across and connect to Mexico, then build that giant wall along the new mexican-us border.
The added benefit here is a larger border with Mexico, meaning he can run around screaming about the now larger border with Mexico, while simultaneously cutting off Mexico's west coast from the ocean, fucking their supply routes. He'd absolutely be on board for this.

It would create new spots in the house and Senate. Changing the whole dynamic of political. So it'll never happen and if it does... It'll just be a territory like Puerto Rico or Washington DC.
Can't have folks having representation

Here's why. The Kansai International Airport filled about 180k cubic km of land for about $15b. Given the shape is about 8m square km, and an average seafloor depth of about 3km, this project would cost about $1500 trillion dollars. That's slightly under half of the new ICE budget and would not be approved by Congress.
The Kansai International Airport filled about 180k cubic km of land for about $15b.
Actually, you're wrong. According to the airport's Wikipedia page, the volume filled was 180 million m³, or 0.18 km³. Taking your numbers of 8 million km² and a depth of 3 km we get a volume of 24 million km³ for a cost of $2 quintillion. That's nearly a third of the US's total defense budget!
Also, the US's total land area is 9.5 million km², so this would require either stripping the top 2.5 km of ground from the entire US, or digging the state of Wyoming right down to the mantle. (I vote for the latter; who even lives in Wyoming anyways?)

Yea with those kind of dollars we should be kicking out more immigrants who jaywalked.

you can do that by lowering the global temp by releasing massive amounts of sulfur dioxide into atmosphere, leading to an ice age, then it wont be accesible due to massive glaciers. but you wont lower it enough to get that huge landmass

A construction plan of epic proportions. They're calling it a freeway.
Eight lanes of shimmering cement running from here to Pasadena. Smooth, safe, fast. Traffic jams will be a thing of the past.
I see a place where people get on and off the freeway. On and off. Off and on. All day, all night. Soon where the Pacific once was will be a string of gas stations, inexpensive motels, restaurants that serve rapidly prepared food, tire salons, automobile dealerships, and wonderful, wonderful billboards reaching as far as the eye can see! My god... It'll be beautiful.

If you keep them thinking about it for a good 80 years more (presidential age) it won't matter so much until it finally doesn't forever.
